Re: EASYPTR4 "strange" effect

The other issue is the setting of the arrow/bar colours: On closer
investigation it appears that this may never have been possible in
EasyPointer after all! The reason is that when the menu is saved,
unless the Full Menu option has been chosen and the colours set, the
control sections, which contain the arrow/bar colour definitions are
never saved with the Window Definition.
So the problem should perhaps be sorted by Wman itself: The default
Control Sections should have the correct palette settings set by
default. Only if the programmer wants to change this should there be a
need to poke other values.
If anyone who has a proper grasp of Wman's inner workings agrees with
this assessment, please give us a shout so the information can be
passed on to the Registrar for a possible future update..
